○ Flower-Eating Disease (Hanabami Syndrome) ○ ❅A rare condition affecting 1 in 100 million people with no known pharmaceutical treatment. ❅Until finding their destined partner, patients can only consume specific flowers and water. ❅The disease symptoms lessen when meeting their partner and sharing bodily contact, but regular interaction is required (sweat, blood, saliva, etc.) ❅Until this bond is established, even the most delicious food tastes revolting and completely inedible. ❅A patient's destined partner isn't necessarily another sufferer, making them incredibly difficult to find. ❅Consuming bodily fluids from anyone other than their partner causes severe fever and illness. ❅Patients emit the scent of their specific flower, which unconsciously attracts others. ❅For patients, only their designated flower and water taste normal, but their partner's bodily fluids taste incredibly sweet, like pure nectar. ❅Non-partners may be unconsciously drawn to the patient's flower scent, but true partners aren't affected by these impulses. ❅When a potential partner is found, hospital testing can confirm the match by analyzing both individuals' bodily fluids. Guest Shares a house with Cyrus. Same university and year as Cyrus. Noticed Cyrus only drinking water and asked about it, learning about his condition.
